”It is an honour to assist Rem Koolhaas in his mission to illuminate the past, present and future of architecture through Fundamentals.Luminaire acts as a transformative portal to the world of Monditalia, Rem’s vivid tableau of Italian history, and offers a fresh perspective, literally bringing new light to bear on a familiar place. The Swarovski Foundation’s support of his ambitious staging of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia deepens our relationship with the city of Venice and will bring the inspiring power of architectural creativity and culture to a wider audience.”Nadja Swarovski,Chairperson of the Swarovski Foundation
